Based on a deep turquoise color, rainbow-like interference colors appear depending on the angle, and its luster is clearly noticeable, making it a beautiful pearl.
Easy to incorporate into everyday styles, it adds an elegant expression to polished outfits.
※What is Umihotaru?
Natural-colored blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading pearl farms, which has been operating in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture for 120 years.
Only pearls with a mystical blue that seems to reflect the sea of Tsushima are named "Umihotaru" and certified as a single pearl BRAND.
The beautiful interference colors of Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell penetrate the nacre layer.
Natural blue is an accidental color, so it is rare and extremely precious for it to appear beautifully covering the entire pearl.
Natural-colored blue Akoya pearls are said to be prone to color changes, but "Umihotaru" pearls have a thick nacre layer and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under a strict management system to make them less susceptible to color changes.
Those who purchase them will receive a card certifying that they are Umihotaru.

【Dedicated Parts】※Dedicated parts are sold separately. Dedicated parts are here
We offer dedicated rings and earrings made of K18 Yellow Gold or Pt900 that can attach COLLECTIBLE PEARL.
A collection that offers unique, beautiful, and valuable pearls in screw-type jewelry.
The screw structure allows you to freely enjoy various combinations of pearls and base parts such as earrings and rings.
【Nickel-Free】
The fittings (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," made without any nickel, which is known to cause metal allergies.
※This does not guarantee that everyone will be free from metal allergy reactions. If you experience any abnormalities on your skin, please stop using it immediately and consult a specialist.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product has a "loosening prevention treatment" applied to the screw threads of the screw parts.
※Some parts are untreated.
This treatment involves coating the screw threads with a thin, flexible film to suppress screw loosening caused by vibration and other factors through friction.
However, since it does not lock the screw, it may still loosen depending on how you use it.
When using it, please tighten the screw securely before wearing it, and check occasionally while wearing it to see if it has loosened, for greater peace of mind.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Because it is not as hard as materials such as iron, the screw part may wear down or become damaged depending on how it is used.
Please use it carefully so that too much force is not applied vertically when tightening the screw.
If it becomes difficult to use due to deterioration of the screw part, please contact us, and we will offer a repair or a remake proposal that allows you to use it as a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us via the contact page on our website.
